Product Description
Kidde Smoke Detector, Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup, Test-Silence Button, Interconnects with Select Kidde Smoke Alarms (model RF-SM-ACDC) is a hardwired smoke alarm that operates on your home's 120V power source. In the event of a power failure, the Kidde fire alarm comes equipped with a 9V battery backup to keep your family protected. Using ionization sensing technology, the wired smoke alarm detects invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Fire experts strongly recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors be installed to help ensure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home. A green LED informs users of the smoke alarm's status: Standby Mode - illuminates constantly when the fire alarm is receiving AC and DC power; Alarm Mode - flashes every second with 85-decibel beep when alarm senses products of combustion; Alarm Memory - flashes every second to indicate the alarm has been activated; Hush Mode - flashes every 2 seconds while the alarm has been silenced. Red LED flashes in conjunction with the smoke detector's beep or chirp: during an active alarm, in low battery mode, and when there is a unit error. The Kidde hardwired smoke detector makes it easy to expand the coverage of your current interconnected system. Simply replace one Kidde interconnected alarm with this model, and any compatible Kidde alarm with wireless technology can be added. When one interconnected alarm sounds, all devices in the system sound. UL Certified with a 10-year limited warranty. Meets requirements of UL217, NFPA72, The State of California Fire Marshal, NFPA 101, FHA, & HUD.

Install is easy and just a matter of plugging in and twisting in place- if you have the more recent ones in the rest of your house. You set a code before you install it so that it will work with the wireless units (which you also set to the same code).
When tested, it sets off all of the other wired and wireless detectors without delay.
Steps:
1. Purchased hardwire/wireless interconnect Kidde and a wireless interconnect Kidde smoke alarms.
2. Set the dip switchs on both devices so they will communicate. MFR recommends do not use default
3. Installed batteries in both devices.
4. Installed hardwire/wireless. SInce I already had Kidde' install I did not need to replace the harness. Simply plug in.
5. Installed wireless in additional room. See your local code for where to place the alarm and how far from the wall or ceiling.
6. Tested the system from the wireless, then the hardwire/wireless, then from current installed alarms in other locations and all alarms went off as aspected.
Conclusion: It works works if you want to expand to another room with interconnection function on a current hardwire system.
Only warning per the MFR is do not install two hardwire/wireless interconnection on the same circuit otherwise it will be a continual loop of never ending beeping.
In fact, not being let down is an understatement these things have went off multiple times per week since we've had the pleasure of calling them ours. Each alarm draws the youngest of the young ones down stairs yelling fire. Although the volume of her yells have gotten softer and the seriousness that she takes the unplanned fire drills has decreased each false alarm we hope she still takes it serious if we ever have a real fire.
On a serious note - do not buy these. We have seen our kids and ourselves become desensitized to our fire alarms because of these. Regardless of the time they go off we all assume it is just another false alarm. Do not buy these.
I set the dip switch codes in each of them, put in the batteries, hooked them to AC and they worked perfectly, and activated each other.
These have a feel of quality, unlike some of the cheap units I've seen.
